About Jennie
Jennie Bell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction, ADHD, and other life challenges. Her style is straightforward and respectful.
She listens first and shapes sessions around each person's needs. Conversations focus on practical steps and realistic goals rather than jargon. Jennie uses methods from client-centered therapy to keep sessions grounded in what matters to the individual.
How Jennie works
She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage intense emotions and improve coping. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when someone is trying to make big changes, such as reducing substance use or shifting habits. Narrative therapy helps people reframe painful experiences so those events stop defining their whole story.
With 15 years of experience, Jennie adapts her work to each person. She aims to build a clear plan, track progress, and adjust as needed. The goal is steady, achievable change that fits daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions offer
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own priorities. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what matters, and follows the client’s lead to build a plan that feels relevant. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to make sense of their situation.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions break problems into small, practical steps and teach ways to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, provides concrete skills for intense emotions and strong urges. It includes techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and impulse-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These formats make it easier to work on stress, mood, relationships, or behavior changes without rearranging a whole day.
